Smells traditionally masculine. Has a nice, enjoyable citrus top. Dries down to be a complex, interesting blend of oud and woods.
It’s strong. It can be offensive. I’ve gotten complaints from people while wearing this. It lasts a long time, I got 12+ hours.
Your clothes will smell (bad) the next day.
It’s not unpleasant to wear. I would not buy it or wear it again, however.
I don’t enjoy oud, take that into account.

The dominant note in this is that harsh woody compound that dominates cheap modern men’s designer fragrances. Faux niche brought to you by an entrepreneur working with the white lab coat scientists at Firmenich.

Amazing. Best from the line. Get your own nose on it.

Opens with a blast of warm,sweet,spicy orange.
Warms down to rich yet fresh woodiness.
I couldn’t detect any iris but the lavender keeps it crisp,with a slightly medicinal vibe.
The lasting base notes are a well blended mix & very long lasting.
I’m not a fan of oud based perfumes but here it’s very subtle,letting the warmer amber & sandalwood be more detectable.
The orange notes stay throughout,keeping it fresh but still spicy.
Longevity & projection are amazing,on me about 6 – 8 hours.
Hard to find in UK but worth seeking out.In Fortnum & Mason approx. £150.
If you want similar but a lot cheaper try Zino by Davidoff or go sweeter with Armani Code Profumo.
The other frags. from G&B are also great,espcially Pacific Rock Moss.
Although all the frags. from G&B are classed as unisex,IMO they are all very masculine.

Sharp and appealing scent which reminds me a great deal of Pegasus by PDM. Not identical, but it has that same vibe and possibly even safer smelling than Pegasus. All in all, a good frag that i can see getting compliments too.

I have just tested this fragrance and I must say, I really like it! It reminds me of nasomatto black Afghano but much softer, or perhaps Gucci intense oud, it has a smokey woody smell to it, overall I really enjoy it and smells of niche quality… well done goldfield and banks!!

Inspired by the world’s largest sand island: Fraser Island off the coast of Queensland, Wood Infusion by Goldfield and Banks is paradise in a bottle.
It perfectly represents the light and the dark, the heat and the cool, the pleasantness and the undoubtable harshness of the Australian climate.
A fragrance of definite contrasts, Wood Infusion was composed by Hamid Merati from Firmenich, blending the creamy sweetness of Australian-grown Santalum album, as well as earthy, buttery iris and dark, peppery, agarwood (oud).
The effect is sublime. A fragrance which has strength and solidity, a fragrance of contrasts. The sandalwood is the light and the oud, the darkness. Throughout the wearing, I’m experiencing alternating waves of the two, but the iris keeps this scent grounded and wearable.
Completely versatile, I’ve worn this scent on cool days and it’s been cosy and comforting. Conversely, in the heat of the Australian summer, it shimmers and becomes luminous as the woods are warmed by the sun.
As with all products from this house, composition, longevity and sillage are outstanding. As the old saying goes “you get what you pay for”.
Disclosure: I was sent a sample of this product before writing this review. I still always write honestly about a product and describe honestly how I perceive it!
